Hey Grim, thanks for trying to help.
So, I went to VST connections (F4) and created a new bus (I called it New Bus!)
Not sure what you mean by unassigned. I can have it routed to my sound card or not. I tried both ways and neither worked.
I then routed the VST output to this New bus.
Then I made a new audio track for recording, but it still has no option in the inputs to receive from the new bus.
(see screenshots)
So either I’m not understanding your instructions, or Cubase Elements is designed to prevent recording a VST inside it.
